Abstract
An improved osteoimplant device and method for producing it. Bone particles are mixed with a polymer and a solvent. The mixture is formed into the shape of an osteoimplant and substantially all of the solvent is removed. The osteoimplant may be osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and load-bearing.
Claims51

- mixing bone material, a solvent, and a polymer that is substantially soluble in the solvent;
- forming the mixture into the shape of an osteoimplant;
- and
- removing substantially all of the solvent from the osteoimplant.
